surely, other than devolved powers, the uk must all have the same rules, if not surely every region within the uk has an argument for a special relationship. As long as Ireland does not join shengan agreement, and the IRA do not start gun running, open borders both for trade and people is not that hard to establish

will we reach a deal to move on to trade talks before Christmas?

Not sure much more can be done, without opening trade talks

IMO we will not reach a soft or hard Brexit, but somewhere in the middle, which would be a sensible and good outcome for all

however a few more twists and turns, and not sure we should be held ransom by the DUP, if the DUP were in a power sharing Nortern Irish government, then they would have more credibility

Theresa May thought she could not negotiate an easy deal without the backing of parliament, unfortunately she made the job twice as difficult by going to the polls, and losing her majority

the latest revelations to the Select Committee today in which it is now clear that our government has not made any (that is zero) impact assessments either of leaving the EU or indeed leaving the Customs Union or the Single Market shows that our government is more concerned about the Conservative party not falling apart, rather than the prosperity of our country. This is so utterly shameful, negligent and deceitful that I feel it gives cause for the government to actually resign. This is the most important decisions in 70 years yet the government has demonstrated its utter contempt,incompetence and deceit.

but 63% of the country did not vote to remain. You still don't seem to have got that into your head, that the opportunity to vote was there for 100% of the populace. The fact that so many of those didn't vote can not for one minute suggest that they all were against leaving. All it does do is underline your argument. The end of the beginning is now with us, the war is just begun.

If I die tomorrow I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone The spirit carries on

Well It was Cameron who rushed through a referendum and Boris who lied through his teeth when he and the unlikely alliance of Farage said it was the thing to do. It was like Batman and Robin befriending the Joker.
I bet many marginal voters now regret their little protest vote.

I see no reason why they wouldn't be friends Commisioner Gordon was very friendly with Penquin
